Solvent role in the lipase-catalysed esterification of cinnamic acid and derivatives. Optimisation of the biotransformation conditions
Suárez-Escobedo, Laura,Gotor-Fernández, Vicente
, (2021/02/05)
The esterification of cinnamic acid has been deeply investigated using ethanol as nucleophile and Candida antarctica lipase type B (CAL-B) as suitable biocatalyst. Special attention has been paid to the role that the solvent plays in the production of ethyl cinnamate. Therefore, volatile organic solvents and deep eutectic mixtures were employed in order to find optimal reaction conditions. Once that hexane was selected as the solvent of choice, other parameters that affect the enzyme activity were investigated in order to produce ethyl cinnamate with excellent yield. The CAL-B loading, nucleophile equivalents, temperature and reaction time have been identified as key parameters in the enzyme efficiency, and the potential of lipase-catalysed esterification has been finally exploited to produce a series of ethyl esters with different pattern substitutions on the aromatic ring.

Azomethine ylides are fascinating 1,3-dipoles for [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions toward the construction ofN-heterocycles. Herein, an efficient and environmentally benign electrochemical approach for the generation of a nonstabilized azomethine ylide has been established under metal-free and external oxidant-free conditions. The resulting 1,3-dipole undergoes a [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with olefins. This electrosynthetic methodology indulges a straightforward and facile approach for the construction of substituted pyrrolidines.

The regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of oxazolidinonesviaa Pd-catalyzed vicinal C-N/C-Cl bond-forming reaction from internal alkenes of allylic carbamates is reported. The oxazolidinones are obtained in yields of 44 to 95% with high to excellent diastereoselectivities (from 6?:?1 to >20?:?1 dr) from readily available precursors. This process is scalable, and the products are suitable for the synthesis of useful amino alcohols. A detailed theoretical and experimental mechanistic study was carried out to describe that the reaction proceeds through ananti-aminopalladation of the alkene followed by an oxidative C-Pd(ii) cleavage with retention of the carbon stereochemistry to yield the major diastereomer. The role of Cu(ii) in a C-Cl bond-forming mechanism step has also been proposed.

A new class of bidentate ligands was prepared by a modular approach involving Rh-catalyzed C-H annulation reactions. The resulting conformationally constrained ligands enabled the Pd-catalyzed C-H alkenylation at electron-rich and sterically less hindered positions of electron-rich arenes while promoting the facile oxidation of Pd(0) intermediates by oxygen. This newly introduced ligand class is complementary to the ligands developed for Pd-catalyzed oxidative reactions and may find broad application in transition-metal-catalyzed reactions.

Catalytic carbon-carbon bond formation building on reductive coupling is a powerful method for the preparation of organic compounds. The identification of environmentally benign reductants is key for establishing an efficient reductive coupling reaction. Herein an efficient strategy enabling H2 as the sole reductant for the palladium-catalyzed allyl-allyl reductive coupling reaction is described. A wide range of allylamines and allylic alcohols as well as allylic ethers proceed smoothly to deliver the C-C coupling products under 1 atm of H2. Kinetic studies suggested that the dinuclear palladium species was involved in the catalytic cycle.
Intramolecular Sakurai Allylation of Geminal Bis(silyl) Enamide with Indolenine. A Diastereoselective Cyclization to Form Functionalized Hexahydropyrido[3,4- b]Indole

A fluoride-promoted intramolecular Sakurai allylation of geminal bis(silyl) enamide with indolenine has been developed. The reaction facilitates an efficient cyclization to give hexahydropyrido[3,4-b]indoles in good yields with high diastereoselectivity. The resulted cis, trans-stereochemistry further enables the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of two alkene moieties, giving a tetracyclic N-hetereocycle widely found as the core structure in akuammiline alkaloids.

Substituted 9-methyldecalin derivatives containing an all carbon quaternary chiral center were synthesized with excellent enantioselectivity via an organocatalyst-mediated domino reaction. The first reaction is a diphenylprolinol silyl ether-mediated Michael reaction, and the second reaction is an intramolecular aldol reaction. The enantiomerically pure catalyst is involved in both reactions.

A photocatalytic E to Z isomerization of alkenes using an iridium photosensitizer under mild reaction conditions is disclosed. This method provides scalable and efficient access to Z-cinnamyl ether and allylic alcohol derivatives in high yields with excellent stereoselectivity. Importantly, this method also provides a powerful strategy for the selective synthesis of Z-magnolol and honokiol derivatives possessing potential biological activity.

A BF3·OEt2 catalyzed intramolecular Povarov reaction was used to synthesize 15 chromenopyridine fused thiazolino-2-pyridone peptidomimetics. The reaction works with several O-alkylated salicylaldehydes and amino functionalized thiazolino-2-pyridones, to generate polyheterocycles with diverse substitution. The synthesized compounds were screened for their ability to bind α-synuclein and amyloid β fibrils in vitro. Analogues substituted with a nitro group bind to mature amyloid fibrils, and the activity moreover depends on the positioning of this functional group.
Metal-free domino Cloke-Wilson rearrangement-hydration-dimerization of cyclopropane carbaldehydes: A facile access to oxybis(2-aryltetrahydrofuran) derivatives

, (2020/03/13)
In this work, we have demonstrated a metal-free transformation of cyclopropane carbaldehydes to oxybis(2-aryltetrahydrofuran) derivatives via a domino Cloke-Wilson rearrangement-hydration-dimerization sequence. Commercially inexpensive p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) was used as a Br?nsted acid catalyst, and reactions were conducted in an open-flask. Detection of reaction intermediates were carried to get an insight into the reaction pathway.
